Abstract

A computational synthesis system (CSS) automates the generation phase of a design process. Development of a CSS for a new design case has not received much attention in the literature, since most computational synthesis methods are developed to solve a particular design problem [Cagan 2005]. This paper outlines a CSS development process that can be used for the class of quantitative routine design. The central notion is a definition of generative knowledge for use in knowledge acquisition, representation and automation. It unites existing concepts and techniques from cognitive design research, knowledge-based engineering and computational synthesis. Three design cases are used to demonstrate its validity.

Keywords: computational synthesis, knowledge, engineering
